Happy Birthday to me

 

Me at one week "old" :-)

So, apparently, its my birthday today...not apparently but definitely last time I checked, I am turning a year older today. It hasn't been a fun feeling since leaving the teens and starting the twenties because that's when it hit me that I am actually "getting old"...before you know it, I am a grandma! lol

 

Anyway I know I haven't been around and all but it won't hurt to wish myself a happy birthday right? Kidding...anyway I can't be more thankful to Almighty God for keeping me all these years and hopefully keeping me for more years, healthy, alive and kicking. I am thankful for the past year, the memories and all sorts and I thank you guys, everyone who has been wishing me happy birthday, its the reason for my smile, I really do appreciate it. :)

 

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Beyonce and Jay Z take baby Blue Ivy home from hospital

They are rumoured to have spent a staggering $1.3 million to renovate a private wing for their new baby daughter Blue Ivy Carter's arrival.

But after just three days at one of New York's swankiest hospital Lenox Hill, Beyonce, her husband Jay-Z and their newborn bundle of joy have left the building.

The couple reportedly checked out of the hospital at 1.30am, and left in a large SUV complete with tinted windows.

The trio were said to have been followed by a cavalcade of cars through the darkness.

No doubt the couple were taking Blue Ivy to their luxurious Manhattan penthouse apartment so she could settle into her new home.

From dailymail.co.uk

Ok I was a little late with the news and everything (busy life here and there) but what a bundle of joy for the couple! I do however feel tiny bit sorry for Blue as the world will be watching her every move! I hope she will be given space to grow up properly.

Sensational Swahili Commentary - BBC Swahili Ulimwengu wa Soka

So someone was excited when he was David Miliband tweet about him...hahaha! I am kidding, I just had to say that.

This past weekend Ulimwengu wa Soka was in Sunderland, as reported before, and seem to have brought luck to Sunderland as they beat Man City 1-0 at last minute. The moment when Charles Hilary and Salim Kikeke seem to have been "sensational" enough for David Miliband to tweet about it (as shown above). Just have a listen... below

Amazing huh?

BBC Swahili 'Ulimwengu wa Soka' ndani ya Stadium of Light

From safc.com

The club will notch a broadcasting first when Manchester City visit the Stadium of Light on New Year's Day.

BBC Swahili's flagship football programme, Ulimwengu wa Soka, will kick off the New Year with live commentary from the Sunderland vs Manchester City game on New Year's Day.

This is the first time that the BBC Swahili weekend football programme will broadcast from Sunderland's Stadium of Light.

The team of producers and presenters on Ulimwengu wa Soka bring football news and live Barclays Premier League commentary to Swahili-speaking fans every weekend. 

The two commentators who will be at the Stadium of Light, Charles Hilary and Salim Kikeke, are household names in East Africa and have commentated from both the Africa Cup of Nations and the FIFA World Cup.

BBC Swahili reporters across the region - in Zanzibar, Nairobi, Kampala and Dar es Salaam - join listeners who enjoy watching the matches in their localities while following the BBC Swahili commentary on radio. 

This combination of the visual provided by TV coverage with the BBC Swahili commentaries has become the norm since 2004 when the BBC first started offering live Premier League commentary in Swahili.

Fans also use SMS and the BBC Swahili Facebook to share their thoughts and emotions as they follow their favourite English Premier League teams.

David Stead, Sports Editor for BBC Global News Languages, says: "Asamoah Gyan's victory in the BBC African Footballer of the Year award last year really put Sunderland on the map for audiences in Africa, and with Manchester City riding so high this season, listeners to BBC Swahili will really enjoy listening to this commentary in their own language".

Niall Quinn, who now heads up international development on behalf of Sunderland AFC, added: "We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming the BBC World Service commentary team to the Stadium of Light. 

"Sunderland is a football club that has traditionally enjoyed a huge support locally and we are now building on that core support as we look to grow and develop on an international stage.

"The Barclays Premier League is watched and enjoyed by hundreds of millions of fans around the world and for our football club to be recognised and supported across Africa is a huge honour. "

*cough* - Habari ndio hiyo. Hehehehe
